Methods:

Learning Through Doing is our Instructional Credo. Because our teaching methods are so interactive, they can create muscle memory for cumulative, lifelong benefits.

90 Doing/10 Didactic: Highly-focused instruction is given only briefly (about 10% of each hour) followed immediately by active application (about 90% of each hour). Learning through Doing is our instructional credo. Our Executive Presence Workshop participants are intellectually stimulated, emotionally engaged and genuinely invested in being their truest, biggest selves.

Teaching tools and techniques, all designed to keep our executive presence training participants actively engaged, include: Dyad exercises (working with one other person), Video Feedback (film and group review of how one presents themselves), small group exploration, multimedia presentations, instructor feedback, giving and receiving peer feedback, large group sharing and discussion, and real-world application exercises. Our Executive Presence Workshop will be unlike any training you’ve ever experienced.

Our instructors’ clients include leaders from these organizations, and more.

Credibility Affects Everything.

Power Yours Up.

We believe in the equality of all races, genders, religions, nationalities, sexual orientations – and the empowerment of all people. Power for Everyone.

And, guess what?Research suggests that some of the tools we teach can boost ones’ chances of being selected in desired high-stakes situations. This means that our tools can level playing fields and shrink gaps.

Are you serious about diversity and inclusion? Talking about inclusion is truly good – but talk isn’t enough. Give your team real tools that can help them level playing fields and shrink gaps. Everyone deserves to benefit from the best transformational leadership trainings.

Our Vision: May all beings remember their full magnificence and benevolent power.
